"The whole book is a discussion of that great problem of human life: what is the intention of Divine Providence in allowing the good to suffer?" "The direct object is to show that, although goodness has a natural tendency to secure a full measure of temporal happiness, yet that in its essence, it is independent of such a result. Selfishness, in some form, is declared to be the basis on which all apparent goodness rests. That question is tried in the case of Job." -- Cook.
